The Business News Headlines and More 9 January 2024

Coming up today some of the big business news headlines of the day along with a look at what happened on Wall Street. In addition, if you like history, you are in for an amazing conversation that comes from West Des Moines, Iowa. When we saw the presser we though it looked interesting but was really hyper-local.  Were we...wrong. My guest is Gale Brubaker from the West Des Moines Historical Society and the story she weaves has its roots in the Abolitionist Movement of the 1800's and she even drops the name of John Brown. Good stuff! Also if you want to reach us on social media and if you're on Threads you can find us @Insight_On_Business. And you can hook up with us all day on Twitter or "X" @IOB_NewsHour and on Instagram. Facebook? Sure were there too.  Here's what we've got for you today: 

• It's looking serious for Boeing;
• The future of AI may be in the hands of the court;
• Speaking of legal issues we have an NRA update;
• A story from our "You Can't Make This Stuff Up Department";
• The World Bank sees economic troubles for the global economy;
• The Wall Street Report;
• More layoff news from Unity of San Francisco.

For the interview the astonishing story about the Jordan Family, a house built in 1850 that was part of the Underground Railroad and visits by abolitionist John Brown.  I can tell you this is quite an amazing conversation with Gale Brubaker of the West Des Moines, Iowa Historical Society.  To listen click this link.
